Ford has a bunch more "twins", the US Escort is clearly differing from the European Escort (at least both are compact class) also the US and European Granada. And then they have some slightly altered names like the Galaxie (US full-size sedan in the 60s and early 70s) and the Galaxy (European MPV from 1995-2024, the first generation was made in the same Portugese factory as the 1st gen VW Sharan and Seat Alhambra); the Taunus (named after the Taunus Mountain Range northern of Frankfurt, in production from 1939 into the 1980s, a European family car) and the Taurus (latin for "Bull" a US Mid-/Full-Size Car introduced in 1985). Also the Kuga (European name for the Escape) and Cougar (also last gen Mercury Cougar) sports coupé it's funny that they also have the Puma (which is an alternative/latin word for Cougar), a smaller sports coupé based on the Fiesta, now a small SUV.

My biggest gripe is that they make every car look very sporty, especially combined with the aggressive, sharp lines on just about every car nowadays. I understand if it's a sports sedan, like a BMW, or a sportier version of a hatchback, like the Yaris GR, but why in the world would a family sedan, like say the new Corolla, have such an angry, aggressive design? Economic family cars should exude familiarity, warmth, a welcoming look, much like most family cars from the past. It doesn't make any sense for a grocery getter car to look like a track monster. They all just look like some riced out beast I would have drawn up when I was 5 years old.

The 307s have sooo much room in them and they don't "fall down" in the back. You can't put anything into the new ones. There is just no space in their trunk and no one can sit in the 2nd row because the roof is to low.

I think the origin of this design trend at Ford came in the form of the 1996 Lincoln Sentinel and 1997 Mercury MC-4 Concept Cars, it's certainly the first time I had seen that look which accompanied a sharp front fender return (that was actually the biggest part of the design novelty). Up to this point, everybody had wrap-around headlights that cut off the fender corners. Cadillac "Art & Science" design also mandated these type of headlights on all their models.

as an amateur designer i can give a very easy explanation for why this "basic shape" was so popular. that curved line is very easy to draw, cuz it's a natural movement for your hand to do, and when you are drawing (as most car designers often start out doing), you tend to follow the natural flow of the pencil. This is why most cars with this headlight shape, has an inoffensive design, because the natural flow of the design is uninterrupted and uniform. It might not necessarily be particularly interesting or attractive, but it's a far cry from downright ugly.

Yellow dirty looking headlights are alright in the city but rural night driving is dangerous. My 2002 Mercedes still drove nice but unless I kept the high beams on traveling at freeway speeds at night was the only way I could see. When I would dim/ dip the lights it was almost like I had turned the lights off. Other than the dashboard lights I would not know that the lights were even on. Test drove a 2019 Nissan Altima and was totally floored with the led lights. Even on low I could see almost as far as I'd want. Go up to high and they just went out to infinity. Fog lights are actually irrelevant with leds. The Altima had fog lights along with the leds and going back and forth, I could barely tell if they made any difference.

corsicar can you talk about that trend of doing the front fenders divided in two sections, one line goes to the windows bottom line and the other goes up to the A pillar. it's on the Fiat Punto 199, and literally any car of 2006-2009

I liked how Peugeot picked up the trend from Ford and then went all ham with it ever bigger and more swept back, with 206 and then 207, while giving it a unique touch.

Id love to see a video on why brands abandon their iconic headlight/rear light signature. There were times where I could say from far away "thats an Audi, Mercedes, Volvo" but that is hardly possible with newest models. The main reason is probably cost and them moving to LED even though that should cause more design freedom and not unity across different brands?

Because as the years go by, things grow stale, like it or not. They all wanted a new look, but unfortunately all ended up looking nearly identical. The new cars of the 2020's though are finally starting to have their own identities again. Not a unified look across the brand, but most models have their very own look.

Its interesting how many vehicles used this headlight design language. The first time I noticed it as a trend was in 2001 in an ad for the 2002 Mercury Mountaineer, and I instantly recognized it as the look of the next decade to come for car headlight design.

People nowadays complain that all new cars look the same because of the split headlights but it has always been like that and the mid 2000's era is a perfect example of that. Trends come and go, every decade has its own styling and there's nothing wrong with that...

For me, another big change in the design of the 2000s was the bumper line, i.e. the difference between the bumper, the grille, lights and the bonnet/hood. Now we can see a continuous shape between the plastic and the metal. When parking I still miss the old school practical and protective bumper.
